Nirvana's bassist, KristNovoselic called Green Day's latest release their best work so far. He describes their work as "real punk," though some other critics have noted the band's latest work is treading in the pop rock waters. Drummer Tré Cool did mention that although punk rock is their mainstay, they pulled the essence of classic rock and roll during witting.

A track from the final act of the three act arch that is "21st Century Breakdown." This is the first video to feature the two central characters of the concept album, Christian and Gloria. The realities of war are literally taking place around the couple, with bursting chairs and hole strewn walls. Throughout the chaos, they remember each other and even have a chance to hug and kiss for a scene straight off the album cover.
